Nimbus, Animation Lib
Posted: Wed Nov 15, 2017 6:41 pm
I was always had to write a new animation framework every project. So i thought maybe i should make only one thing and use it on the couple of projects. Sooo i made Nimbus.
Nimbus is an animation framework which supports image to image animations and sprite-sheet animations both. Also its easy to use and change.
Page of Nimbus: http://www.lab.nikneym.com/nimbus/
nimbus.new(file_path, frame_number, animation_speed)
Loads a new image to image sprite to your game. "file_path" means the path you want to use. Also you must add the file name. But you don't have to write the format you're gonna use. Nimbus sets the format automatically to png. You can change it from library's own table. This function needs every image for every frame.
nimbus.newSheet(file_path, frame_number, animation_speed, width, height)
Loads a new sprite sheet to your game. "file_path" means the path you want to use. Also you must add the file name. But you don't have to write the format you're gonna use. Nimbus sets the format automatically to png. You can change it from library's own table. This function needs 1 image for every frame but you have to add images side by side.
obj:update(dt)
Update event of your animation. Must be used in love.update function. No matter what type your sprite is, it works same.
obj:draw(x, y)
Draws the object to the target x and y location. Must be called on love.draw function.
obj:debug(x, y)
Shows the properties of the animation. Only works with nimbus.new() function for now. Must be called on love.draw function.
